Preface
Thanks for selecting the YG series of circulating fluidized bed boilers designed and manufactured
by Jinan Boiler Group Co., Ltd based on plenty of design, manufacture and operation experiences.
The manual explains the boiler operation. Read the manual carefully and operate the boiler
according to the manual. If you do like this, you will enjoy the long-term benefit from the boiler,
reduce troubles and improve the boiler safety. Please read relevant manuals and important explains
carefully.
The client shall read the technical documents of the boiler, know its performance, correctly and
safely operate the boiler, and adopt potent measures to make the emission meet the local
environment requirements.

▲ Important Warnings
In order to ensure the boiler to safely operate under the conditions of startup, running and banking,
the following items shall be paid more attention.
1. When the boiler burning higher volatile and moisture coal is banked, coal gas is easy to arise from
the fuel bed and gather at the positions of air chamber, primary air duct and air-side of primary air
preheater. If the concentration of coal gas is to a certain degree, explosion maybe occurs at the
above positions when the boiler is started up again. Therefore, vent valves shall be equipped at the
positions of air chamber, primary air duct and air-side of primary air preheater on which the gas is
easy to be collected. During boiler banking, open the valves at once. When boiler is restarted and is
determined that there is almost no gases collected at the above positions, start up the boiler
2. When igniting for start up, first open air damper and then put the igniting device and oil damper
into use. It is not allowed to open oil damper first and then air damper. When the initial ignition
can not make the oil gun work, start the fans to ventilate the air chamber, furnace and backend flue
for five to ten minutes before secondary ignition in order to expel deposited combustible gases
from furnace and avoid explosion. Be careful of the complete atomization of oil during boiler
ignition, otherwise bad- atomized oil will deposit in air duct and air chamber to cause explosion
3. When the abrupt shutdown of boiler is due to power cut and other reasons, the coal gas and
combustible gases maybe enter the air chamber due to the fine coal covered on the top after
dropping down. So it shall be especially cared to avoid the explosion of air chamber. If the fire
cutoff is due to other reasons, increase negative pressure of combustion chamber and ventilate for
about 3~5 minutes to eliminate the combustible matters from combustion chamber and flue.
4. When the boiler is restarted up after banking, remember not to feed fuel directly if the
temperature of fuel bed is lower than 600℃ in order not to produce the combustible gases that will
further cause the gas explosion in furnace. At this time, put the igniting oil gun into use according
to boiler startup regulations; when the fuel bed temperature rises up to and over 600℃, a few coal
can be fed and carefully observe the changes of furnace temperature. If there is an abnormity, stop
5. When explosion occurs at water wall during running, especially at the middle and upper part of
water wall, water gas is easy to form in the high-temperature furnace due to water-steam and coal
4/29
Boiler Operation & M aintenance M anual/72500SSM
and gather in furnace and at the top of flue duct. When the concentration is to a certain degree, the
water gas may cause the gas explosion in furnace and backend flue. Therefore, after explosion
occurs at water wall, stop coal feeding at once, meanwhile increase the induced air and shut down
the boiler for disposal.
△6. When fire cutoff occurs due to whatever reasons, strictly prohibit feed coal into combustion
